Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Analysis for The FGM Thick Cylinders Under Combined Pressure and Temperature LoadingK. Abrinia, H. Naee, F. Sadeghi, F. DjavanroodiAn analytical solution for computing the radial and circumferential stresses in a FGM thick cylindrical vessel under the influence of internal pressure and temperature is presented in this paper. It has been assumed that the modulus of elasticity and thermal coefficient of expansion were varying through thickness of the FGM material according to a power law relationship. Nevertheless the value … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 7,123 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review on Factors Impinges Computer Usage in EducationNaresh Kumar, Raduan Che Rose, Jeffrey Lawrence D’SilvaThe growing body of literature associated with educational computer use had examined numerous variables and interrelationships in order to gain a better understanding of computer beliefs and use of computers within education. Teachers' computer acceptance is an important factor to the successful use of computers in education. Thus it is significant to draw attention to the factors affecting teachers' computer … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 8,222 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBehavioral Modeling: an OverviewRoman V. YampolskiyThis exploratory paper begins with an overview of a multidisciplinary problem of behavior modeling and correlation of different behaviors. It looks at many possible applications of such technology and proposes some novel directions for future research. From the security point of view the paper proposes and explores some novel behavioral biometrics and research paths as well as some universal descriptors … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 7,425 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFramework of Regression-Based Graph Matrix Analysis Approach in Multi-Relational Social Network ProblemFord Lumban Gaol, Belawati WidjajaCommunity mining is one of the major directions in social network analysis. Social network analysis has attracted much attention in recent years. Most of the existing methods on community mining assume that there is only one kind of relation in the network and moreover, the mining results are independent of the users’ needs or preferences. However, in reality, there exist … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,922 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Improved Resource Reservation ProtocolDesire Oulai, Steven Chamberland, Samuel PierreThe classical resource reservation protocol (RSVP) is a flow-based signaling protocol used for reserving resources in the network for a given session. RSVP maintains state information for each reservation at every router along the path. Even though this protocol is very popular, he has some weaknesses. Indeed, RSVP does not include a bidirectional reservation process and it requires refresh messages … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 6,488 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHigh-precision Detection of Facial Landmarks to Estimate Head Motions Based on Vision ModelsXiaohong W. Gao, Sergey Anishenko, Dmitry Shaposhnikov et al.A new approach of determination of head movement is presented from the pictures recorded via digital cameras monitoring the scanning processing of PET. Two human vision models of CIECAMs and BMV are applied to segment the face region via skin colour and to detect local facial landmarks respectively. The developed algorithms are evaluated on the pictures (n=12) monitoring a subject’s … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,819 accessesView PDFCite
